Simple’s Revitalizing Eye Roll-On: a Little More Simple, a Little Less Effective
In last month’s Birchbox, I received a full sized Revitalizing Eye Roll-On by Simple Skincare. I had seen the relatively new line while perusing the isles of CVS, but have always been a little weary of “natural” skincare products made by “the big guys”. In this case, Simple is Unilever’s foray into the ever growing [...]
Sunday Riley’s Ceramic Slip Cleanser: Cleanse Me Ceramic Smooth

Dr. Bronner’s Peppermint Bar Soap Review: Castille Magic Gone Dry
I will just put this out there: I am a sucker for a short ingredient list. The shorter the better. In this day in age of chemical tongue twister names that cover the entire backside of a 16 fl oz bottle, a short ingredient list is as refreshing as…peppermint! (Bad joke noted) So let’s get [...]

Salma Hayek Gives Lancôme a Lesson on Makeup Removal
Ah yes, the ever popular celebrity brand. From fashion to cosmetics, no lucrative market stone has been left unturned. For this reason alone, I didn’t exactly jump at my sister’s suggestion to try out the eye makeup remover by Salma Hayek’s brand Nuance. Sister must have sensed my lack of enthusiasm, and added that it [...]
Mind your Beeswax with Burt’s Bees
Beeswax. The by-product of honey-making cleverly utilized by Burt Shavitz and Roxanne Quimby in their award winning lip balm has made Burt’s Bees a household name. You see their products in the beauty section at CVS right next to L’Oreal, Dove, Aveeno and other personal care giants. You’ve heard they use natural ingredients and are [...]
